Ok, so these are some theories i've come to. Most of them are short with small tidbits of explanation and support, but other ones you might just need to expand upon yourself.
First, Walt's imagination.
I've seen every episode of LOST, and i've gone back to the very first season and have began to re-watch it. Walt is known to have some sort of powers as noted in his flashbacks. His father says he is "special" and we see him have some sort of power to make something he thinks about appear. He's reading books about birds, and the same bird he mentions flies into a window, along with other ones, presumably from his imagination (picturing the birds in his mind).
Now lets backtrack a bit.
First, Walt mentions that he likes being on the island, and that he doesn't want to move around anymore. So, he imagines a place of mystery and astonishment in his mind, and they end up in a place of that nature. Then, later on, when we first discover about other people on the island (Ethan), most people are skeptical of the idea, however, he notes to Sawyer that he believes there ARE people on the island. Another point of evidence in his imagining of things happening. Third, backgammon is somewhat a game of chance, relying on dice with equal probability of being rolled on any side. We see a scene of him and Hurley playing, and he procedes to get ANY number that he needs.
Further evidence
- Locke teaches him to throw the knife, he can't, Locke tells him to envision the knife hitting the tree using "the mind's eye". He does and succeeds, stating that "I pictured it as if it were real, and it happened"
- He is reading the comic book with the polar bears, and he has an encounter with one during the same episode.
- While building the raft, he asks Michael if they will get attacked by a shark. They do.
NOW MY THEORY.
I don't think that EVERYTHING is result of Walt's imagination, BUT I do think that the things on the Island could have been created as a result of Walt's imagination. Once manifested, they proceeded to exist, and live lives as if they had a history and whatnot. Just saying.
-----------------------------------
Now onto my next theory. Mr. Jacob.
I won't get into hard details about who Jacob is other than I think he is someone completely new, not someone else. I also am not going to go into his connections, but moreso his place on the Island.
We see Jacob's house jumping around quite often, as well his presence as a spirit rather than a physical embodiment. His need for a proxy is most notably in this case.
I believe that Jacob's spirit is still on the island, stuck in time which is why he has to keep in contact via other people. Why this is the case is unforseen. But nonetheless, we see his cabin jump around alot, and I don't think it's for spirtual type reasons, but mainly because HE is rooted in the island, and the island has such a crazy timeline, he's kind of everywhere at once.
I DO think that Jacob is off the island much like Widmore, Locke, and Ben, however I think his case had a much bigger plan, possibly having something to do with the numbers. I believe that a certain set of events had to take place in order for him to return to the island, and we are experiencing the final chapter of those events. Though he may be physically off the island, his spirit is rooted there, so he can still be in contact with people in some way shape or form.
-----------------------------------
My last theory is VERY out there.
But...
Based on what we now know with the island's state of time travel, we can assume that anytime the wheel is turned the island jumps in time. We know this because Ben did it, the island moved, and he was removed from the island. Locke did the same, and according to Widmore, we can assume he did the same. With that being said, when Oceanic crashed, the island had to have been moved from some point in time, at least so much that it was around the mid to late 1980s (when Widmore was exhiled, assuming that was the last time the wheel was turned). So WHEN exactly was the island when the plane crashed. Of course everyone of its inhabitants, or anyone coming to the island thinks that it was WHATEVER year it was when they arrived. But I wonder if they asked different people what year it was then, from their perception, what they would say?
